HousingTracker looks at asking prices and inventory in more than 50 metro areas around the country. So, how are things in San Francisco? Um, bad:
Last week, the supply of listings increased in San Francisco, Santa Cruz and San Jose but down (bright spot!) in Riverside and Sacramento. Inventory stayed the same in L.A. As for asking prices, they dropped or stayed the same in all those markets.

| Trend | 04/21/2008 | 1 month | 3 month | 6 month | 12 month |
| Median Price | $521,000 | +0.2% | -0.8% | -10.9% | -13.5% |
| Inventory | 18,072 | +5.5% | +19.5% | -3.9% | +28.1% |
